Document History

Fourth revision, January 2015. Supersedes Wildlife and countryside act 1981 - definitive map orders: consistency guidelines (updated October 2010) (PINS, 2003). Related to the following: Definitive map orders (revised February 2007) (PINS, 1997). These guidelines were last updated in April 2016 and do not necessarily reflect current guidance. Following a review of the future of the guidelines by Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Planning Inspectorate it has been decided that a single source of policy guidance issued by DEFRA would be more appropriate, efficient and user friendly. DEFRA will incorporate essential policy elements of the Consistency Guidelines into Circular 1/09 when they revise it.
